A huge step forward towards built environment experts working in the places where we can make the biggest difference. So good to see @AgrawalPooj @NikkiLinsell and the team taking @PRACTICEPUBLIC to the next level.

@ollywainwright As an antidote to powerful men in big cities, look at @moabjornson's work in Træna, an arctic archipelago in Norway with a population of 450. Only part of the story here: placebrandobserver.com/moa-bjornson-i…

Urbanist Twitterbrain! Who do you think have been the most influential and transformative *city architects / planners* around the world in recent years? On the level of totally turning a city's fortunes around...?

Today I step back from my role as Chief Executive of @PRACTICEPUBLIC, proud that I’m leaving an organisation that will only go on to bigger and better things. All thanks to the extraordinary network of people that built Public Practice, and will continue its mission.

The #GreenRecovery will not be centralised. It is local government that is showing real ambition and action on the climate and COVID. Hear how, this Monday, with an all-star line-up of @Georgia_Gould, @Miatsf, Mark Atherton, @rafebertram & @AgrawalPooj. eventbrite.co.uk/e/public-discu…

The Rosie Lee cafeteria was designed by Sadie Speight, a pioneering and under-recognised architect, and founding member of the Design Research Unit.

'Gremlin Grange' displayed the flaws of substandard speculative housebuilding, including rising damp, structural cracks, leaking pipes and a smoking fireplace.

The @PRACTICEPUBLIC team visit Poplar and the site of the #FestivalofBritain Live Architecture Exhibition on its 70th anniversary.

I couldn’t be happier that @AgrawalPooj will be succeeding me as Chief Executive of @PRACTICEPUBLIC in June. There is no one I’d prefer to be handing over to. I look forward to seeing Pooja and the team taking what we’ve started to the next level from a new position on the Board

@Tony4Place @PRACTICEPUBLIC @malmostad Thank you Tony! Hope you will line up another visit to Malmö in the not-too-distant future.

@commonoffice @PRACTICEPUBLIC @malmostad Just catching up with your news - what a legacy Finn! @PRACTICEPUBLIC is so needed and bringing such fresh thinking to where it matters. And fond memories of 2018 visit to Malmo too

I will be stepping down as Chief Executive of @PRACTICEPUBLIC from July to take up the role of City Architect at @malmostad. It’s been a privilege to help build an incredible Team, Board and network of Associates & Authorities. The movement now has its own momentum.

Excited and honoured to become a @PRACTICEPUBLIC associate! I'll be joining a local authority as senior design officer, working on placemaking and creating inclusive cities. Looking forward to this new adventure 🥳

@danielnordh @HorningMarcus @malmostad Tack Daniel! 17 years after I first visited Malmö with you... Hope to see you in Portugal or Sweden soon.

Det är verkligen spännande att ta mig an rollen som stadsarkitekt för Malmö - en av Europas mest dynamiska och multikulturella städer. Jag ser fram emot att samverka med @HorningMarcus, övriga medarbetare i @malmostad, politiker, branschen och Malmöbor. Vi ses till sommaren!
